Objectives
Overview
of the differences between the pediatric and adult airway Intubation of the pediatric patient
Large Occiput Large Tongue Larynx is anterior and superior Epiglottis may be floppy with acute angle Narrowest portion is cricoid cartilage
The Basics
The airway in any patient can be: Physiologic
maintained easily or with effort by the patient
Maintainable
Intervention
The Basics
To assist patients in maintaining an airway: Clear mouth Position head Consider Airway adjuncts
Proper Positioning
A jaw thrust or head tilt maneuver will position the tongue so that it will not obstruct the airway Remember that a child has a relatively large tongue compared to an adult In infants it is possible to hyperextend the neck too much and cause the soft tissue to obstruct the airway
Nasal Trumpet
A nasal trumpet can be a useful adjunct
possible for the trumpet to be too long or too short
Oral Airway
An appropriately placed oral airway will pull the tongue forward and provide an unobstructed airway
If the oral airway is too long, it will stimulate a gag. If its too short, it will not lift the tongue.
Airway Adjuncts
The use of airway adjuncts, such as the nasal trumpet and oral airway, will only provide an adequate airway. The patient must have reasonable respiratory effort. If the patient is unable to maintain adequate ventilation, he/she should be bagged or proceed to endotracheal intubation.
muscular neck Receding mandible Protruding incisors Uvula not visualized Limited TMJ mobility Limited C-spine mobility
Laryngoscopes
Straight Curved Fiberoptic
Proper visualization
The laryngoscope should be used to lift up and out. Do not rock back on upper teeth. Curved blade tip is placed in vallecula and will lift epiglottis away from airway. Straight blade tip is used to hold the epiglottis from beneath.

Intubation Procedure
Prepare Equipment Position patient
Intubation
Laryngoscope in L hand Insert on R of mouth and sweep tongue to L Advance in midline until epiglottis visualized Advance tip of blade
into vallecula (curved blade) beneath epiglottis (straight blade)
Pre-oxygenate
4 max breath in 30 sec 100% O2 for 3-5 min
Induction agent
sedative/analgesic
Neuromuscular blocker
Procedure Pre-oxygenate Rapid Induction Agents Rapid Acting Neuromuscular Blocker Sellicks Maneuver Intubate Check breath sounds, inflate cuff (if applicable) Release cricoid pressure
Sellicks Maneuver
Cricoid
Pressure Closes esophagus against the vertebral column protects against passive regurgitation DO NOT release until airway is secure !
Intubation Medications
Goals: Provide adequate intubation conditions
airway easily visualized patient comfort (not fighting procedure)
Avoid
complications
Atropine
Blunts
vagal response that can cause bradycardia and dries oral secretions Dose = 0.02 mg/kg (min 0.1 mg) Adverse effects
tachycardia mydriasis atropine flush disorientation
Benzodiazepines
Effective
amnesia Onset and duration vary between midazolam, lorazepam, and diazepam Dose = 0.1 mg/kg Adverse Effects include: hypotension and myocardial depression
Fentanyl
Sedative/Analgesic Dose
2-5 mcg/kg Rapid Onset and short duration -- thus an excellent intubation med Virtually no CV side effects
Ketamine
PCP
Derivative, Dissociative Hypnotic Rapid Onset and short duration Dose = 1-2 mg/kg IV or 2-4 mg/kg IM Increases HR, and BP and thus may be ideal for the patient with shock. Increases cerebral metabolic rate and ICP and thus not a good choice in head injury or seizure
Thiopental (Pentothal)
Dose
= 2-5 mg/kg Max Effect in 60 seconds Sedative Hypnotic that decreases cerebral metabolic rate and ICP Hypotension and Myocardial Depression are possible adverse effects
Etomidate
Ultra
short-acting non-barbiturate hypnotic rapid induction of anesthesia with minimal cardiovascular effects 0.2-0.6 mg/kg over 30-60 seconds Peak effect: 1 minute Duration of action: 3-5 minutes Can cause adrenal suppression
Neuromuscular Blockers
Recommend
Succinylcholine - dose = 1 mg/kg IV Rocuronium - dose = 0.6-1.2 mg/kg IV Vecuronium - dose = 0.1-0.3 mg/kg IV Mivacurium - dose = 0.2 mg/kg IV Atracurium - dose = 0.2 mg/kg IV
Controlled Intubation
Fentanyl & Lorazepam or Etomidate Vecuronium/Rocuronium + Atropine Pentothal or Etomidate Lidocaine 1 mg/kg IV Vecuronium Atropine
Septic Shock
Atropine Ketamine Rocuronium/Vecuronium
